“Buck's Place looks like a dive bar from the front, but in back is Sonoma's best pizzeria. Whenever my wife and I wanted a simple date on a Friday night, we'd do house cocktails and a pizza at Buck's. The outdoor seating had a villa feel to it, and the old arcade machines in the back corner were a fun diversion.“

“If Enoteca were a bottle of wine, it would be a perfectly aged red—full-bodied, rich, and likely to make you want to tell all your friends about it after the first sip. The atmosphere is equal parts cozy and classy, like the kind of place where you can feel sophisticated and still laugh until your cheeks hurt.

And then… there’s Lilly.
Lilly isn’t just an employee—she’s the heart, soul, and uncorked magic of Enoteca Sonoma. She could probably sell wine to a vineyard owner, and she somehow knows exactly what you need before you even realize it yourself. Need a pairing suggestion? She’s got it. Need a story about the wine that makes it taste even better? Done. Need someone to casually convince you to order another glass? She’s your girl.

Basically, Enoteca without Lilly would be like a wine glass without wine—functional, but missing the good stuff.

Five stars, two thumbs up, and a toast to Lilly for making every visit feel like the perfect pour. 🍷“

“Delicious sauce, amazing dough and fresh quality ingredients. Having been raised in Chicago, I am kind of a pizza snob. So when I say this is the best pizza I've had in my 30 yrs in Sonoma County, you should take notice. Brava!!“

“Come for the SALAD...Stay for the Pizza, Raviolis and in this case....Split Pea soup. Good meal tonight. Love us a bunch of Mary's Pizza!🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕“

“I want to take the time to share such an amazing customer service experience at the Mary's on Summerfield.

I ordered online for NYE at around 6:25 pm. It was a last minute decision as other places we were going to get dinner from were closed. My order was forecasted to be done for pick up at 7:10 pm.

I got to Marys at 6:55 pm. Earlier than anticipated due to the rain. It was definitely busy for pick up orders. It is NYE. So definitely to be expected. I got to the head of the line and was told my pickup order should be done by 7:15 pm. Close enough. I wasnt bothered. 7:20 pm rolls around and I go to the counter to check on my order. Im not mad or irritated. I just wanted an eta as I can see how hard the crew is working and the phones are ringing non stop. I approached the counter and the young gentleman was already anticipating my question. He apologized for the delay and handed me a monetary voucher to use for next time. He said it would be another 20 minutes and apologized again. I wasnt expecting such a kind gesture. I could see how busy they were and its expected due to the evening it was. 20 mins passed and my order was ready. The young gentleman called me over, apologized again for the delay, and gave me some cookies (as well) for waiting. I wish I got the young gentleman's name. He went above and beyond. It wasnt expected but very much appreciated.

The food was hot and delicious as well! Quality was just as good even with how busy they were.

Mary's, Thank you for showing such great customer service. I can see your staff was working so hard on such a busy night. Much Thanks to all of the staff your effort and service is so appreciated.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our experience at Sonoma Grille was outstanding from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing meal in wine country.

Someone in my group ordered the linguini with shrimp, I had the Dungeness crab, mashed potatoes and spinach, and it was absolutely delicious. The seafood was fresh and plentiful, the vegetables were perfectly cooked, and the pasta was flavorful and beautifully prepared. Every bite was a wonderful combination of fresh ingredients and thoughtful seasoning.

A special thank you to Ceasar, our waiter, who provided exceptional service throughout the evening. He was attentive, personable, and made sure we had everything we needed. His friendly demeanor and excellent recommendations made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere—Sonoma Grille is definitely a restaurant I would recommend and look forward to visiting again.“

“The place is just as welcoming as when I was a child. The food tastes just as good as I remembered. It is still a great place for family lunch and dinner. Casual fun, family friendly atmosphere with a great selection of food items and drinks. A great place for locals and visitors to the wine country. Love this place!“

“I got a pulled pork sandwich on Dutch crunch bread. It was a tasty sandwich but I had asked them to lightly toast it and they didn't. I looked at some of the products in the freezer and they had old dates on them. They need to rotate out the old stuff for new products.“
